#5 Royal Challengers Bangalore - Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli's importance to the RCB camp is priceless. The skipper was retained by RCB for a massive 17 crores, thus making him the highest paid player in the history of IPL.
In addition to this, the fact that Kohli has never played for another IPL team highlights the strength and the consistency levels he has showcased for RCB.
Kohli's most memorable season was in 2016 where he amassed a massive 973 runs and RCB finished the season as the runners-up side. However, Kohli who has promoted himself to open the innings in the T20 format has 7 ducks to his name in his records-laden IPL career.
